Greetings from San Cristobal, Guatemala. We're back and we are excited. We have had a full couple days since returning.
First, thank you to everyone who was praying for our travels. I don't believe we ever had such a smooth trip - ever. All luggage arrived and no bribes were necessary. The Agrellas' extracted us from the airport and we got to see Maribel, Edy and Dani (before they left to visit Edy's family in Chimaltenango.)
One of Emma's classmates arranged to take her with them to a water park for the weekend. These two are so very cute, and close. It was really great to see how excited they were when we told them!
Joy went grocery shopping Wednesday - then Thursday morning we discovered our refrigerator was not working properly. Sadly we ended up tossing most of the food Joy bought Wednesday. :9(
At the recommendation of a friend we called a company to come and look at it on Friday. They came and by night time the temp inside was a cool 40F. We went shopping, again, Saturday and replenished our food. We monitored the temp throughout the day but by night time the temp was again back up to 50F.
The family which took Emma had lent us a gignorma-cooler so I made an evening trip to get ice. We reorganized all we could and seems like the cooler is down to 40F and most everything else in the freezer.
We're praying that when we wake tomorrow the cooler will still be adequately cold.
We ask you pray with us for wisdom for what we should do next. Do we put much money into repairing an eighteen year old (circa 1996) refrigerator or do we figure out how to replace it?
With Emma being gone Joy, Abigail and Sara did their nails tonight. When I arrived home, from getting ice, I was greeted with Sara shouting "how pretty my nails are" and how "Auntie Cheeeeri is so going to love my nails" - it was hard to tell her that Auntie Cheri was not going to be at our church tomorrow.
All in all a good week. We miss everyone back north but we know we are home and that God has this ALL under control.
